    It happens just about every year...

    Oh well, Cadel Evans is one step closer to Yellow!

    I believe that it is possible for a amathic to compete at the highest level. What I don't believe is the fact that there are so many cyclists with astma.
    True, there are many, many of the top swimmers in the world who do/use to suffer from Asthma.

    My dad enjoys the Tour and usually buys the magazine and follows it but hes been working a lot lately and finds it hard to watch it. Maybe others would agree its not something you want to watch-miss-watch but more its something that you have to keep up with to enjoy to the full?

    When he explained some of the rules, techniques and the goings-on I got interested in it but I wouldn't say I follow it. I think the drug scandals are very much ruining the reputation to the point were many followers are abandoning it. Imagine the kind of people who would enjoy it, they are not the kind to tolerate junkies.

    My favourite sport to play and watch is football, although I don't play as much as I would like to anymore. I think it's sad that anyone might argue between cycling and football, 2 totally different sports. They cannot be compared.

    Deutschland Uber Alles I don't think you should tell people to watch champions league as an advertisement of football. Many champions league games are boring because teams are scared to take chances, or because the big players bottle it, usually attacking players.. Ronaldinho for example. If you really want to advertise football at its most entertaining, you want to watch an English premier league game between (for example, at random) West Ham and Aston Villa. Those kind of games are fast paced with great goals and unpredictale and quite astonishing results. Champions league does have its games, and if your team (and if you love your football team half as much as I love mine you'll know what I mean) is playing then even the most boring and awful game can be the best, most exciting 90 mins of your life.

    I only looked at the coverage when Lance was compiting know its a bunch of no names and to be honest WHERE IS THE HÉROISME in that sport but yeah I guess it's appealing to some viewers...
